Brachial plexus stretching injuries: Microcirculation of the brachial plexus
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1995This study was undertaken to investigate the pathogenesis of brachial plexus stretching injuries at an intensity level not severe enough to cause avulsion injury. While we performed traction on 64 forelegs of 32 rats, we evaluated changes in the blood flow in the extrinsic and intrinsic microvascular systems of the brachial plexus.

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1990
Brachial plexus injuries are not uncommon in sports. Knowledge of anatomy and neurophysiology is important to permit accurate diagnosis and institution of compressive treatment. Traumatic injuries can be caused by traction and compression. Unusual conditions such as acute brachial neuritis may also occur.

Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries
Scottish Medical Journal, 2004It is clear that OBPP will continue to be a challenge for the foreseeable future. Because it is a rare condition the best results occur in specialised units for the fairly small number of patients who do not make a full recovery within two to three months of birth. This figure varies from 10 to 80%, according to the literature.

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1985
Trauma to the brachial plexus may have unfortunate physical, psychological, and social effects. Because this nerve network provides motor and sensory innervation to the arm and hand, an injury may result in functional impairment with concomitant loss in confidence and self-image.

Avulsion injury of the brachial plexus
The American Journal of Surgery, 1968Abstract Two cases of complete avulsion of the roots of the brachial plexus are presented. Both patients also had severe additional injuries. Myelography demonstrated the avulsion in the second case. In both, the useless arm was amputated at the mid-humerus level.

Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2022Brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBIs) are typically traction type injuries to the newborn that occur during the delivery process. Although the incidence of these injuries has overall decreased from 1.5 to around 0.9 per 1000 live births in the United States over the past 2 decades, these injuries remain common, with incidence holding fairly steady ...

The treatment of brachial plexus injuries
International Orthopaedics, 1985The author describes 1068 patients with brachial plexus lesions who were referred to him during a period of 18 years. Seventy two percent of the injuries were caused by road traffic accidents. Traction or crush injuries were the usual type encountered. They may occur at five levels above, behind and below the clavicle.

Birth Injuries of the Brachial Plexus
Clinics in Perinatology, 2004Birth injuries of the brachial plexus are fairly common, but the majority of affected newborns make quick recoveries without any specific intervention. A minority suffer more severe injuries that lead to varying degrees of life-long disability. Happily, modern microsurgical techniques permit reconstruction of certain plexus injuries and, in carefully ...

Gunshot Injuries to the Brachial Plexus
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1997Gunshot wounds to the brachial plexus present a specific problem in peripheral nerve surgery. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of these injuries and the possibilities for functional recovery after their surgical treatment.Retrospective analysis of nerve lesions and results of surgery.The series consists of 54 patients ...
